Bobby George

Bobby George, born Robert Francis George on 16 December 1945, is an English television presenter and former professional darts player, widely known as the King of Darts for his flamboyant entrances in a crown and cloak with a candelabra. He took up darts at the age of 30 and won the first tournament he entered. His major wins include the News of the World Darts Championship in 1979 and 1986, the Butlins Grand Masters in 1979 and 1980 and the North American Open in 1978. He reached two BDO World Darts Championship finals, losing to Eric Bristow in 1980 and to John Part in 1994, the latter while playing with a broken back. Since 1998 he has worked for the BBC as a co-presenter of darts coverage.
